They are way too fast on the signs nor do they actually have captions as stated in the information upon purchase. I am upset that I can not get my money back. Please do not waste your money on this. It’s a scam.

On video 6 of the first part of this course they give no explanation for the new introduced signs. Some subtitles would have been great for the students starting at beginner level. Please fix this. The rest of the course so far is very enjoyable and I have learnt so much already so I would hate to have to quit now. Especially since this did cost money, I expected there to be a more guided process.
It would be wonderful if you could give more context to the video's in this course

Avoid this video it is a scam. There are no captions to explain what they are saying. It's just people signing, but without explaining the signs. SO you really don't know what is happening. COmplete and utter scam.

The quizzes for the same or different topic has multiple choice answers that doesn't match the question and it is unclear what is expected of you

I have wanted to learn to sign for years, but recently I met a new deaf friend and this has motivated me not just to want to learn to sign but to actually do it! So far your course has been wonderful as i feel I have already learned so much. I am looking forward to learning more

This course is very informative however I wish that there was more time for viewers to practice memorizing signs before there is a quiz.
